He would skate a little more (although he was never a speed guy anyway) and try to cycle a little more down low, especially when he was with Barkov. They would play off each other down low and make life miserable with their puck protection and stick handling.
He doesn't seem to do that as much these days, and I'm not sure if it's been coached out of him or if he's just getting a little older and can't put his body through the rigors of that style of player.
